A member of CGIAR consortium IITA is part of CGIAR CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. Vision: To reduce poverty and hunger, improve human health and nutrition, and enhance ecosystem resilience through high-quality international agricultural research, partnership and leadership

A member of CGIAR consortium We work with partners in Africa and beyond to reduce producer and consumer risks, enhance crop quality and productivity, and generate wealth from agriculture. What we do

A member of CGIAR consortium Where we are

A member of CGIAR consortium Predicted annual rainfall change under climate change for 2050

A member of CGIAR consortium Climate change Conservation and use of genetic resources Breeding Improved agricultural practices Integrated pest management
